[news] Arashi are Double DVD First Week Sales Champions as "Singers" and "Actors"

[acidae.livejournal.com]

With the sales of Fuji TV's "Saigo no Yakusoku" (released on the 2nd), a New Year drama special DVD starring popular group Arashi, at 126,000 copies within its first week of release, they have achieved first place in the comprehensive DVD sales for the week of 6/14. Not only it is the first time a drama-related product has broken through the 100,000 copies mark in its first week,it is also the highest first week sales ever recorded in the history of drama DVDs.

This product has sold almost three times as much as the previous first week sales record for drama DVDs of 41,000 copies, held by "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (First Season) Vol. 1" (released in January of 2009). The current accumulative sales record of 75,000 copies for domestic drama DVDs by "ROOKIES Omote BOX" (released in July of 2008) was also surpassed in one mere week.

With the addition of this record to their concert DVD, "ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5x10" (released in April), also recording the highest first week sales in the history of music DVD releases with 470,000 copies sold (accumulative sales at 682,000 copies), Arashi has become double first week sales champions in both the "music DVD category" and "drama DVD category". These results have once again shown us their tremendous popularity.

Really? First time for a drama-related DVD to break the 100,000 mark?

You go Arashi. You proved once again how popular you are and all I can say is, after all you've been through, you deserve all of these recognitions.
